• The evaluation of cultivated land protection policies (CLPP) is the main basis for reducing the deviation of policy implementation and ensuring the sustainable and efficient operation of cultivated land protection. This paper used the PMC-Index model to establish an evaluation system for CLPP, and then quantitatively evaluated 8 CLPP in China since 2004 based on the PMC-Index and PMC-Surface. It was found that the PMC-Index of the selected 8 CLPP have shown an overall upward trend, with the score increased from 4.70 to 6.85. The average value of PMC-Index of the 8 policies was 5.74. 4 policies had a PMC-Index rating of good consistency, and 4 policies were acceptable consistency. This paper further compared and analyzed the differences between policies ranked the first (P8) and the last (P1). The results showed that the existing CLPP had much room for improvement in terms of the structure of policy tools, coordination of policy release agency, and the completeness of policy content. This study is good for fully understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the single policy for China’s cultivated land protection.
